Two years ago Paul Gunter lost his high school sweetheart to cancer. Before she passed away, she wrote him a letter that he carries as a reminder of the promises he made to her-meet someone new, someone to make him happy. When Paul meets Gwen, a widow with a teenaged son, Paul struggles to reconcile his quickly growing feelings for Gwen, the promise he made to his late wife, and the love he still feels for the woman he lost too soon.

It's been two years since Gwen Waters's husband died unexpectedly, leaving her a single mom to their son, Maxwell. Now, living miles away from her previous life, she finds herself developing a friendship with the handsome widower she met in a support group. Gwen swore to herself that she wouldn't let another person in who could be taken away from her, but will she keep that promise to herself, or will Paul warm her heart to the idea of loving again?

Forced to face their grief and the potential for love after loss, Gwen and Paul find themselves on a journey of healing. But as time goes on, the question remains. Will Paul and Gwen shut themselves off from a life of love, or will they give in to the chance of being with someone through the hard times and the happy times too?
